BA in Applied Arts & Media
Designed for students who have already excelled in creative fields, this major allows you to more fully understand the context and businesses aspects of your industry. You already have the passion, talent and commitment to the creative field, but this degree helps you build upon your capacity for problem solving, leadership and management. Learn to better promote and communicate your artistic vision, leveraging unique business perspectives to make more meaningful career decisions and excel professionally.
AULA’s Applied Arts and Media major is especially for people with technical skills in art, design and media-focused fields such as makeup design, film editing, or set design, who want to more fully understand the context and business side of their industry.
In this program, you’ll view art from a historical and cultural perspective and explore how the use of art and media has evolved into a platform central to effective marketing and communication. You’ll gain crucial skills and problem solving strategies specific to the arts and media fields that will make you a more effective professional.
The BA in Applied Arts and Media is part of a suite of Applied Studies degrees, each of which provides an opportunity for students with technical, occupational, and other professional training to apply that learning toward the completion of an undergraduate degree that both embraces their technical background and integrates it as a part of an interdisciplinary curriculum. Students who have 27 or more units in one cohesive technical area (units that would not be transferable into our Liberal Studies degree) can transfer those units in as part of an Applied Studies major and then complete the degree program through professionally-focused learning. These degree programs give students the opportunity to connect their technical expertise to a liberal learning framework that will make them more effective as problem solvers and leaders in their fields.
The Applied Arts & Media major focuses on preparing students to use arts in today’s media-rich environment. It gives students the opportunity to engage in art and media-making while looking at these forms as practical professional skills. Students completing this degree have a historical perspective as well as employable skills within the arts and communications fields.
